Despite all that the devoted care of his children and the • - &>nstant attendance of the best medi- Seal skill could do, he gradually grew Weaker, passing peacefully to the great beyond shortly after 7 o'clock * Sunday evening. 5, * Mr. Schaid, who would have been * ieventy-eight years old had he lived 1. 'On til Aug. 1, was born in New York • and when a young lad went with his • 1 parents to McHenry to reside. Here, when he was twenty-two years of age, fee was united in marriage with Miss Anna Jus ten, and this devoted couple have enjoyed over fifty-five years of happy wedded life. Mr. and Mrs. Schaid resided first in McHenry and then for ten years in Terra Cotta, Obming to Crystal Lake sixteen year j •go and making their home here, Where Mr. Schaid, who was a black­ smith, served the public efficiently and . Mndly. . ; A good citizen, a kindly husband f*' laid father and a loyal friend, Mr. Schaid will be missed by many Who admired and respected him. v\ , Funeral services were held in Mc- ,( Henry this (Thursday) morning, the Berthold officiating, and inter- laent was in the cemetery there. Besides the widow, eight children •re left to mourn the loss of a beloved „ father. They are: Mrs. Maggie Dick- erson of Denver, Colo.; Mrs. Mary ^fannenstijl of Wauconda, Mrs. Eva Pfannenstill of Libertyville, Mrs. • Anna Bloomfield and Mrs. Lillian Shales of Elgin, Mike Schaid of Chi­ cago, Joseph Schaid of Jacksonville, fla., and William Schaid of Walworth, Wis. All the sons and daughters ex- Mpept Mrs. DicMbrson were in attend­ ance at the funeral. Five sisters, •' • three brothers and a number of grand- ' Children are also left Mrs. Schaid is seriously ill and was unable to *t- >> -• tend her husband's funeral. * 1 The sympathy of many friends is • extended to the family in this hour v •. tff sorrow. | McHenry*s Water Pump The need of better and more efficient Water pumping facilities at the vil- f t lage pumping station was never felt *Jore than during the fire last Thurs- y day morning. The inadequacy of the * present system could not have been demonstrated better than on this oc- , oasion. Under the present conditions, ••••/ i we are told, it takes two men to start the engine and at the very best it lakes these two men at least a minute or more to do this. With the condi­ tions as they were laBt Thursday fore- Ky noon several minutes would be lost before a sufficient pressure could be Obtained with which to successfully *ombat any fire. Now, the question naturally arises, will the officials of ; p the village stand by and allow such %r conditions to prevail in the future, i;| low that we have been taught a lesson that we should not forget so soon? f The Plaindealer does not wish to find , fault with any official during the fire I,; last Thursday, but we do believe that ^ the wish of the majority of people, especially property owners, • ;that the village install a more ade r ;,-«uate water pumping system. We ^ur^ler believe that the people wil ^ j-' satisfied with nothing less than an *lectrically driven pump, which can be I to motion in an instant. In cases of fire every minute counts and the fnost efficient fire fighting system is lione too good for McHenry. We trust that the new village board will make it their business to give this SpMmatto* their very easiest and best £ consideration. Auction Sale! Charles Leonard, Auctioneer W.

I know the world hates a. quitter, but again there are circumstances forcing you to think different at times and it's a mighty test, believe me, father. I've already informed you that I intend to return in the spring if conditions don't take a decidedly forward step in that time and this decision I've still got in mind. I believe in sacrificing friends and home for awhile, but health, never. The latter is not exactly the case at the moment, but won't or can't guarantee that it might be the case before many more months of this have passed. No doubt you are receiving very interesting reports and are eagerly following up events. This sickening ennui is gating me and I'm soon at the very limit of enduring it any longer. Without friends^ entertain­ ments, no room of my own, in fact nothing, in the office from ten till four, home for dinner (if there is one), a walk, a book and then a bed again. The next day is only a repe­ tition of the previous one and I shiver when I think of tomorrow. I know you are wondering "what a weakness and foolishness on his- part to let things go as they have and not make an attempt," but you cfin rest as­ sured that if there had been, or is a chance, I haven't been sitting with my eyes closed or failed to try. All this foolishness I write, father, you mustn't consider as childish on my part, but rather as being due to my youth and inexperience, entering life under most perplexing and trying conditions and circumstances. Gattow is constantly reminding me to remember him to you and sends his best regards to all. The poor fellow has run down awfully and is getting thinner right along. We both laugh when he starts to pull on his vest, for the space that intervenes between his stomach and waistband is sufficiently large to conceal a couple of good sized bottles and then room enough left to wiggle in. Otherwise everything is O. K. with him, slightly delapidated, but still in the ring. My Danish friends have nearly all returned, claiming that it's "skit" here and that little Kobenhovn is not such a bad place after all. I don't get much practice in the language so I must content myself with reading something now and then to keep my­ self in practice. The Russian is com­ ing slowly, inasmuch as I'm only learning from daily practice. The method is a long one, but after all the best they all say. Anyway, 111 be able to have a little chat% with you when I get back and then you can hear for yourself. The last few weeks we have had an awful cold spell with plenty of snow for a background. It seems that we are in for a good' spell without any chance of a letup till spring. Heavy underwear and overcoats cer- tainily are much appreciated things at present and I'm very glad that I at least have the former. The big Neva river and Finnish bay are frozen and certainly will take a good warm spell to thaw them out. Weill} father, I really don't know of anything more that would inter­ est you for this time so I'm about to close. Everything is as usual, my health O. K., so you must not give that any ground for worry. Hoping that you are in the best of health and spirits and expecting a few lines from you very soon, IH close with love and best wishes.

THE WATER STREET MARKET HOUSE PHONE 26 LEADERS IN rWCES- QUAUTY-SERVICE ADANS BROS. The Coal Situation! Here it is in a nut shell. The officials of the fuel administration tell us that the 1918 production of hard coal will be 20 per cent short of that of' 1916. This means that if you used 5 tons of .hard coal dur­ ing the winter of 1916-17, unless you make application early, you will get but 4 tons for next winter, provided you get your share, but if you wait© until next winter before making application you • may not even tret your share. Your neighbor who applied early, may get his requis­ ition filled, taking one ton that was coming to you because you neg­ lected the opportunity, consequently you may be short two or more tons in every five, or possibly be unable to get any hard coal at all. We are ordered by the fuel administration that on all requisitions over 4 tons we must hot deliver more than two thirds of the full amount until all applications on file havfe been furnished their allot­ ment. To soft coal users. If the present order of the fuel administra­ tion continues in effect, no Pocahontas or other coal mined east of In­ diana will be permitted to be shipped to this zone. We must depend entirely on Illinois and Indiana mines for soft coal. These mines positively will not be able to supply the zone unless a large percentage of it is stored during the summer. The early buyer will be the for­ tunate one. We are not limited to quantity on soft coal except that you may not purchase more than the winter's supply. The fuel administration requires that we furnish no one with coal for next winter's use until application is made in writing oh blanks fur­ nished by the administration. , , Now th$ situation is very serious, more so than last year, and is growing more serious every day. That this community did not suffer from coal shortage last winter is largely due to the fact that & great percentage of our customers had the foresight to fill their bins early in the summer. The fuel administration will help us to obtain coal for those that apply early.' They will assume no responsibility to those that wait until the cold weather forces them to buy coal. They advise you to apply now. We URGE you to apply now. Not only for hard coal, but for soft coal as well. If your bin will not hold your winter's supply, MAKE IT LARGER. Your security against a coal lamine next winter depends greatly upon yourself. If you have not already made application for coal DO IT NOW DO IT NOW DO IT NOW WILBUR LUMBER CO. "ft# b̂rd .
